Jason Mitchell, N.D.

Jason Mitchell, N.D. is one of the most influential pioneers in the natural foods industry, having launched more than 300 dietary supplements and related products to the market. He specializes in the art and science of designing products to meet consumer needs with more than 25 years of experience and extensive education in the field.

Jason earned his way to Chief Science Officer at Country Life Vitamins, helping the company become one of the largest in the vitamin and supplement business. In 2012, he co-founded Probulin®, which is leading the probiotic industry. Then, Jason co-founded HempFusion® which was the first CBD-oriented product to reach consumer shelves in 2014 and is now one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry.

Jason’s passion for helping others is deeply personal. From a young age, Jason saw the natural products industry evolve, being raised with the value of seeking natural sources of nutrition and healing. He went on to become a Naturopathic Doctor certified by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board. He is also a member of the American Naturopathic Medical Association and Certified Natural Health Professionals. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain Management/Operations from Arizona State University and his Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Trinity College of Natural Health.

In 2011, despite Jason’s healthy, active lifestyle, he was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC). This condition would lead Jason on a journey to learn about the digestive tract and the gut-brain axis. After a medical intervention, Jason discovered he could maintain a healthy gut through natural ingredients and a lifestyle makeover. For example, in addition to the role probiotics play, Jason discovered beta-caryophyllene, which is a special terpene found in oils from clove, certain flowers –and hemp –which has potent anti-inflammatory effects, among other benefits.

Although Jason grew up knowing about herbs, oils, and other natural ingredients, he was anti-cannabis. In fact, he wrote his dissertation against the idea of using cannabis for medicinal purposes.

But Jason could not deny the science emerging about cannabis, particularly hemp, which he would later dub “the perfect plant.” Today, Jason is symptom-free and credits his recovery to the power of healing his gut with probiotics and hemp extract that features beta-caryophyllene. Now, Jason is leading the way again, educating and guiding the industry forward to re-crown hemp as the King of superfoods.
